'- ENTRANCE MEETING TEXT  !

The purpose of this inspection is to review allegations made by Mr. Sam Milam III,  !

.L a former General Electric Nuclear Engineer, to the Government Accountability Project (GAP). Over 170 separate allegations were made which raise questions  ;

concerning manufactured under General Electric's Quality Assurance / Control Program i

approximately 20 allegations will be reviewed. At its conclusion, the NRC will  :

assess the results and decide the best course of action to close-out the remaining allegations. One alternative at this time is to have General Electric gather  !

documentation and respond to the remaining allegations. Once completed, the NRC .

will schedule additional as necessary inspections to review the documentation .

3 supporting General Electric's response.

The NRC is in possession of several thousand documents which account Mr. Milam's a work history during the period referenced above. In addition the NRC has a report, prepared by Mr. Charles E.
